Jalapão resin, root and seeds have properties in alternative medicine that serve to help eliminate toxins and waste from the body, such as a diuretic and a drastic laxative.

The use of the plant is indicated for people who suffer from problems of inflammation in the respiratory system, congestive state, chronic constipation, congestive heart failure, hydrops of cardiac or renal origin and who have strong problems with menstruation.

The drink has a very strong laxative effect, so it is best to use jalapão tea after the recommendation of a specialist.

The plant must not be used in excess. Elderly people, children and people who have stomach problems also need to avoid consuming jalapão.
